Hi Lemmy Community,

At the moment i got a router-modem-combination from my ip and i want to be more independent. Therefore i want to use the provided hardware as bridge and buy my own router to manage my network.

In my home network i got

2 Desktop PCs (cable)
1 Switch (cable)
Several WiFi devices including smart home devices
Pi-Hole
Mac Mini as a linux Server (cable)
Synology NAS (cable)
AVM repeater

Before i start my own extensive research, may you recommend me a Router for my setup?

Thank you in advance :-)

I am using an OPNsense Qotom MiniPC as a firewall/router. I have three Zyxel Wireless APs that I flashed with OpenWRT. I also have two Zyxel switches (8 and 24 port) that I also flashed with OpenWRT. And lastly, I have two Netgear R7000s, also with OpenWRT, that are glorified smart switches. I am very happy with my setup. It works like a champ!
